Week 6, Saturday

[overlimit]

I'm not 100% sure on this, but
I think they're still recruiting.
And I think Manwol was one of them.

[refate]

[ he's too tired for this ]

source?

[overlimit]

Manwol.

[THIS HAS BEEN A WEIRD FUCKING DAY.]

[refate]

[ EXHAUSTED ]

letter? something she left behind?

[overlimit]

Me and Maya got letters from her. Just today. There was a lot in there, but I noticed in Maya's... she said "I haven't been honest with you." Mentioned "things I wish I could have said."

In mine, she said "you're on the right track" and "if I had more freedom, then I might have..."

That really sounds like... you know?

[arcsplainist]

[ Wow! He hates this! A lot!! ]

It does. There's no denying what she could have meant by it.

[ghoststrums]

...that does sound weird.
but I don't know if being part of that group tracks, unless she was recruited this week.

[overlimit]

That's kind of what I was thinking. It's the only way it fits with my dean's list theory, anyway.

[ghoststrums]

... I wonder if we'll ever know?
even if it is true, I'm not sure how much she'll be at liberty to share, either.

[refate]

[ kon's gone quiet, for a while, but eventually: ]

"I'm sorry. I wanted to tell you so many things, but I'm afraid of what might happen if I do"

[overlimit]

Another from Manwol?
How many did she manage to send?

[ghoststrums]

she wrote a bunch.
riku was distributing them.

[refate]

i've had letters and notes prepared for weeks, in case i'm killed.
it doesn't surprise me that she did, too, or that she'd try to help us even after.

[ghoststrums]

I guess I shouldn't be surprised so many people thought about that.

[refate]

i have my stuff willed out, too.
so that it doesn't disappear, and that my vouchers go to someone.
shouldn't matter, now, with graduation predicted for next week.

[overlimit]

So she wrote these ahead of time?
Good to know.

Maya's told her not to blame herself. But I guess Manwol knew ahead of time that she'd do that no matter what happened. She had a pretty good sense for understanding people.

[arcsplainist]

I received one from her as well, but I think it safe to suspect she did not anticipate I were privy to the finer workings of what is happening, for she mentioned no such thing to me.

[refate]

i think that's probably for the best. it makes it feel more intentional on her part to say those things to certain people, rather than saying it to everyone she wrote letters for. if that makes sense.

[arcsplainist]

Forgive me, I don't mean to imply I am cross with her for not thinking of saying so to me. If anything, I would be surprised if she had.
We had not spoken much of our circumstances, truth be told. For the most part, we only did... normal things together, I suppose.

[overlimit]

If this is all true, then it means they probably have one more member that we don't know about, still...

Weird thought here, but... what if Manwol and that mystery member are "the straights"...?

[ghoststrums]

wouldn't that have to be claude?
or
technically she had that fake thing with dimitri

[overlimit]

I don't know anything about Dimitri's love life or orientation or whatever the hell
but he is pretty suspicious for his weapon and his behavior.

And Claude is kind of an obvious fit for the hint, with him and Manwol.
Seemed like he understood the killers' intentions before most of us clued in, too.

So they're both kinda suspicious.

[ghoststrums]

dimitri had that whole thing with byleth? so I guess it could fit.
dimitri's behavior, weapon and all the winter and denji stuff points to him more now, though.

[refate]

[ ... thinking, and he doesn't like it. ]

i think we should pull a winter, for the report next week.
dimitri or ichiro.
because why did ichiro's goggles pull up that denji's broken phone was the most important clue for sakyou's case? why not the weapon that killed him, or something else?

[ i'm gonna lose my shit ]

[ghoststrums]

I think they're recruiting too but
Manwol?
